Old Testament worship ( eye for an eye ) changed to New Testament ( turn the other cheek) was God bored?

Answer 1

Eye for an eye was the civil law of isreal. Nothing has changed. Eye for an eye is still a good civil law for any government. That just says that whatever harm you do to innocent civilians, the government should require you to make an equal payment. If you kill some innocent person then the government should have a right to take your life. Turn the other cheek is not a civil law but a personal moral code for a believer in the judeo-christian God. That also has not changed. That was true in the old testament and it is still true for believers. The bible said in the Old Testament "vengeance is mine saith the Lord". If someone did you wrong you were not to get back at him but to leave it the Lords hands. Let the Lord take vengeance. So one was a civil law and the other was a personal moral code. Both were true in the Old Testament and both are still true today. Nothing has changed.

Answer 2

Hi, To make it easier to understand here is my answer. Before Christ was born God was a vengeful God. All the writings in the Old Testament attest to that. After Christ was born(New Testament), God is a loving God. I am laughing at the thought of God being bored. I think he must be too busy to be bored. lol

Answer 3

Jeremiah 31:31-34, "Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more."

Answer 4

no!!!
the one in the old testament is one of the laws of moses but it was then change in the new testament because the Lord already gave the 10 commandments w/c said that thou shall not kill

Answer 5

The laws that Moses gave his people, where is said and eye for eye was was laws that were need for his people at the time. he also said if you live by the sword you will die by the sword.

When Jesus came he wanted people to know that they could live a better safer and more careing life by forgiving others.

Answer 6

[005:045] And We ordained therein for them: Life for life, eye for eye, nose for nose, ear for ear, tooth for tooth, and wounds equal for equal. But if anyone remits the retaliation by way of charity, it shall be for him an expiation. And whosoever does not judge by that which Allâh has revealed, such are the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrongdoers – of a lesser degree).

So it was ordained eye for an eye, but if you forgive then it is better for you. That is what the Qu'ran says.

Answer 7

Not bored, but He probably decided that he wanted us to actually have eyes... If we truly followed that practice people wouldn't last long. Which is a sad thought

Answer 8

I'm afraid you've mixed up Hammurabhi's code with Christ's preaching.

They [a] don't indicate any boredom by God and [b] are from different contexts.

Answer 9

Not bored, schizophrenic.

Answer 10

no ,but it is the great proof that the bible is just a human writting and not divine any more .

sorry.
